Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

...still showing June for the CAAD10 Rival Disc.

That specific model isn't coming to the UK I think.

It's a kilo lighter than the blue model (carbon rims, Red mechs etc) and very nice but whacked with early-adopter tax.

It's the kind of thing I'd be into with my own cash if and when they decide what's happening with chainlines/axle-standards and so-forth. I'm quite a fan of @skinny 's Focus.

Why did you sell the caad10? Anything in mind to replace it?

That specific model isn't coming to the UK I think.

Oh it is, it's the Nano that not coming to the UK.

CSG do have some unusual sizes left for the Rival Disc, think it's 51cm and 58cm.

the Nano

Teh wat?

The Black Inc. series is a bit yuppie / Stuff Magazine. It is quite nice to see a Cannondale in reasonably inoffensive colours though.

The Racing Edition colours look quite good I think:

Teh wat?

Black Inc. got confused with Nano.

Specification of the Racing Edition is really good, Cannondale crankset, wide rims and Schwalbe One.

I bought a Nano black inc mostly because I didn't want to wait 6 months for all black S-Works tarmacs to drop and I got a really good deal

I didn't want to wait 6 months for all black S-Works.

Hah, now that's what I call irony.

^^ very nice.

'Tis true though. The only Tarmac I liked at the time didn't come as frame only and the Matt black one I wanted as 2nd choice wasn't available for ages.

So I bought the Supersix a week later

Looks rad. What saddle is that?

It was too small unfortunately. I took all of the parts from it and banged them on an FM066, which is just as good!

SLR kit carbonio

I have been waiting for one of these frames to appear second hand for bloody ages now. It's never going to happen. Looks great!

Picked up a CAAD 8 Sora just over a month ago, January sales coupled with cycle scheme means i'lll be paying roughly half retail price all in.

First week home, looks like a hire car;

And then after raiding the spare parts bin;

Very happy with the feel of the frameset, not the prettiest bike i've owned but getting there...

Upgrade the wheelset when you can, cheapest Shimano is miles better than the Maddox.

That'll be the RS31's in the pic then!

Cheers, it's definitely been a worth while mod and made a big difference(that and the 4 season tyres). It'll get 105 or similar at the end of the year in the sales as i had my reasons for picking the Sora model.

I fitted the vittorias onto my race wheels this morning, Gumwall 25mm Open Corsas, have moved the Vreds onto my training wheels

omg tyres the wrong way around!!!!!

Can't wait to ride this thing again - fucking winter and ITB!

forgot to post mine in here now its had a few upgrades

Does anyone have a Hollowgram removal tool (in London) and can I borrow it for a day or two (this weekend)?

6 pack of choice in it for the lovely contributor.

yus

@Mechamorgan it's actually the same as a square taper tool if you take the bit out of the end

It is - if you want to ruin your fancy £300 crank arms.

You're a gent - I'll DM youz in a bit.

@mcmyk there is a video on youtube whereby you can pull Hollowgrams with a custom milled aluminium rod and a Park Tools crank extractor, but getting hold of a bit of aluminium 120mm 5/8" stick is more difficult that just borrowing an extractor...
